Around.

| Inc marble Lime SOUlpiuy are
making preparations to place their
rock-crusher in permanent position,
when they will be able to turn out
eight car loads of crushed stone per
day. As it is now situated, they can
only crush from two to three.
A $4,000 passenger and freight depot
will soon be erected at South River
side by the California Central Rail
road.
A Mexican, bearing the somewhat

SAN BUENAyKN
A syndicate of Los Angeles capi-
talists have purchased fifty-eight acres
OF land near town to be devoted to
Horticulture. Flowers are natures
slliles, and the effect of a beautiful
flower upon the mind of the beholder
is one Of the most pleasant and agree
able experienced in life. Almost all
human beings admire and love them,
and Ventura County is exceptionally
the mother OF flowers. Nature
planted them here in magnificent
profusion and endless variety, and
man has since supplemented her work
with hundreds of rare and fragrant
specimens culled from all climes and
from every zone, yet there is room
and a demand for more and further
experiments in the production OF these
lovely and beloved messengers OF JOY.
They beautify and make attractive
wherever they are found, whether
on an oasis or desert, and
no country can have too many OF
them. We therefore gladly second the
motion OF the Los Angeles firm to put
here garden of flowers which shall
be thing of beauty and joy for
ever and hope to see their truly COM
mendable enterprise accomplished at
an early day, feeling sure it will prove
one of the chief attractions of our
town and source of profit to its enter
prising projectors.
At meeting of the School Board
held few evenings ago, it was de-
cided not to submit the proposition to
vote for the issue of school bonds until
the Board has conferred with the San
Francisco bankers and ascertained
from them the lowest rate of interest
at which the proposed bonds could be
fioated at par. At this writing the
matter is before said bankers for their
consideration.
About two weeks ago j. S. Totty
and J. II. McCutchen, of Santa Paula
purchased eighty acres of land for
speculative purposes paying $3.50 an
ten days after their purchase they
sold forty acres of the same land at a
figure that cleared them $1,000 each
on their investment.
Southern Pacific surveyors are re-
ported to be on the ground for the pur-
pose of surveying the line of the pro-
posed road to COnejo and Simi. This
road would supply railroad commune
cation to an extensive and excellent
section of our county, and we hope to
see its construction entered upon at an
early day.
PASADENA POINTS.
Olivewood is enjoying big impe-
tus in the building line. Three stores
are being built by Mr.. Kimball, late
of New York, at the corner of Lake
and Locust, one fronting on Locust
and two on Lake. Mr.. kimball is
also building a number of cottages in
different parts of the city. Two stores
have also just been completed on the
north side of the railroad at that sub
urb by Mrs. Bartlett. One of these is
rented for drug store, and the other
is to be occupied by q mercantile es-
tablishment.
One of the most convincing evil
dences of the fulfillment of the great
prosperity which the Star has so often
prophesied for Pasadena during the
coming winter months is the remark
able activity that is being manifested
in the erection of business buildings.
At present there are not less than
dozen buildings to be used exclusively
for business purposes, in process OF
construction, and we can count as
many as ten buildings for the same
purpose, upon which work will be be-
gun almost Immediately. In addition
to these are the opera house and hotel
on Raymond, the hotel at the corner
of Dayton and Pasadena, the Painter
hotel at Monk Hill, the Altadena
depot near Colorado, the union depot
at Raymond and (shall We predict it p
a depot for the California Central. If
we think of residences, their number
is legion, and many OF them now being
erected are to cost from $4,000 to
$4,000. Surely the most glowing
predictions in which we have INDUCED
will fall far short of the reality.
The members of the Wilson Peak
Railway Company held a meeting last
night to further arrange for the con-
struction of the proposed line to the
summit of the Sierras. In an inter-
view with Col. ii. II. Markham this
morning, it was learned that the COM
pany decided last night to employ the
engineer who had charge of the con-
struction of the White Mountain rail-
way, and that negotiations are now
pending with him. The preliminary
work is being covered, and while the
company is reserved in regard to its
Expressions, we may expect to see the
work rapidly pushed, when once the
arrangements are complete.
RIVERSIDE.
Riverside is making wonderful
growth. improvement is following
upon the heels OF improvement so
fast that it is well nigh impossible to
keep informed on the subject. Events
now assured are the building of the
Rubidoux Hotel to cost $3.50, 900; a
piped water system, a 800. 1000 high
school building, $50, 900 opera house,
$4,000 casino, $4,000 for piped
water to ArlinA 4on and electric rail-
ways. Other improvements are being
talked of, among them, electric light,
gas works, and hotel to rival the
